Paul and Suzanne Manders Family Fund
Paul and Suzanne Manders Family Fund
Over five years ago, our family decided to create a fund to give back to people in need. One key feature is that all of our family members have the chance to add their input into which areas receive our help. Every year, in a family meeting, each member gets to vote on various options presented by the Foundation staff or other guest speakers.
This year (2019), we have given to our local church, Childcan, Daya Counselling Centre and Anova, as well as others. This fund has been an enjoyable way for our family to come together and support important causes.

With the endowment’s long-term focus and ability to gift the growth in the fund each year, we hope this fund will allow our family to continue to get together annually to make these important gifting decisions for many generations to come.
